Perky Pet 102 Easy Feeder Review

Perky Pet 102 Easy Feeder
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
While I like the look of this bird feeder very much: appreciate how much seed/fruit/nuts it holds: and am amazed at the amount of birds it attracts, (perhaps because of it's size and color) we're not crazy about what else it attracts. This product states that it's squirrel proof. Not only is it not squirrel proof (since we go outside to find squirrels hanging from the side of the feeder and emptying it quite quickly)but it also seems to attract and feed rats. cringe worthy, but true....we evidently have a rat family living underneath our pond. They climb up the tree, across the branches and hang off the side of the feeder as well, having no trouble eating their breakfast, lunch or dinner. They have good taste because we only use high grade nuts, fruits & berries in the feeder. At first we couldn't figure out how a feeder of such large size could be empty within 4 or 5 days. Perhaps the "cage" around the feeder needs to be moved a bit further away from the holes in the inner plastic feed holder so animals can't reach it? In any event, the feeder does it's job and we've now become avid bird watchers in our own back yard. A bit of a redesign might be in order.

Yankee Whipper Bird Feeder 180 Degree Review

Yankee Whipper Bird Feeder 180 Degree
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
This is a great feeder. I had it up for 3 weeks, no squirrels. Plenty of Cardinals, chickadees, nuthatches, etc. However, today I saw a squirrel clinging to the holes and sides of the feeder.

The feeder is suspended buy very thin 30 lb. monofilament fishing line from a very high branch; feeder is about 7 feet from ground. Would be difficult for a squirrel to slide down the fishing line - but possible, I suppose.

Edit - now I know he leaped up from the nearby giant Rhododendron. I moved the Whipper away from the Rhody - but too close to the trunk of the tree - about 5 feet. Witnessed many squirrels leaping from trunk of tree onto Whipper. They grab onto the birdseed holes.

Imoved the Whipper - now it is at least 6 feet off the ground, but over the lawn - will need to move it again.

I liked having the feeder over the Rhody - empty sunflower shells fall onto the ground under the Rhody, out of sight. Rhody gives the birds plenty of cover - they perch in the Rhody before darting over to the feeder, then dart back.A good thing as I saw a hawk peering down yesterday from a tree in the next yard.

Product Description:
The Whipper features four seed ports with individual weight sensitive perches. The curved perch positioning encourages cardinals and small songbirds to eat, but prevents squirrels from feeding. Each perch is individually sprung and calibrated for birds up to the weight of a cardinal (approx. 2 oz.). Length and girth of the feeder are specific to repelling squirrels. The heavy metal cap is constructed to prevent squirrels from raising the cap and reaching the seed inside. An internal baffle design delivers the seed to the ports. The 4-3/4 inch x 21 inch clear feeder tube is made of UV stabilized polycarbonate for long lasting durability without yellowing. The metal cap and feeder base are powder coated a stunning Evening Blue. The Whipper hangs from a looped stainless steel wire that reduces motion that would spill seed. Add a Locking Chain to secure it against falls. Components made in the U.S A. and in China. Lifetime Warranty against squirrel damage. 29.25 inches tall x 8.75 inches long x 8.75 inches wide

It's important to know that while this may keep out squirrels, it WON'T keep out those "thug" birds.

I hung this feeder out today, because my local bird store told me it would keep out larger birds.Well, the grackles just love it.They've been hanging on it all day.Their long beaks easily reach through the cage to get the seed, and they've been jealously guarding it as their personal food source all morning.Sorry songbirds!

Contech Squirrel Scatter Bird Feeder Review

Contech Squirrel Scatter Bird Feeder
Average Reviews:

I found this terrific, but filled with a host of problems you won't soon forget. Not even a day passed before my squirrels popped the lid off the top.There is no electricity at the top to stop them. I spent another $20 and quite a few hours and modified the top and wiring to electrify that as well. Thank goodness I am handy. This could prove frustrating if you are not handy, nor clever too. The birds can't get to the seed at the last 2" from the bottom and that quickly rots and drives the birds away.The inside is especially difficult to clean and I needed a long stick to pry out the damp solidified seed and a lot of patience to clean it.A lot of what looks like metal in the photos is silver painted plastic and while I assembled it right from the box I broke the plastic top off and had to return it for another. Don't plan to hand the metal wire bar in the picture over the branch or you will break the top right off.You need to hang this off a wire. The holes for suspending the metal wire bar are especially poorly designed.The battery cover is attached with tiny screws so be prepared to lose them. All of these problems could have easily been remedied by the staff that designed it. What a shame they didn't. Overall its excellent at keeping squirrels away.I was so inundated with sparrows after the squirrels were gone I scratched my head and wondered what have I done?

Contech SQRTSCTR002 Squirrel Scatter Bird Feeder Review

Contech SQRTSCTR002 Squirrel Scatter Bird Feeder
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
We live in New Hampshire and cannot have most bird feeders in the summer because they will be destroyed by the black bears.This is the first bird feeder that we can hang high in a tree and not have it emptied by the local red and gray squirrels.Before we got this we tried the usual approaches:

Red pepper - Spraying the feeder with an oil and pepper mix didn't work.
Cage-type feeders - This works for gray squirrels, but any cage with a small enough mesh to keep out red squirrels will also block the birds.
Baffles - A regular feeder needs to be 8 feet from any branch or the squirrels will jump to it.This is impossible to arrange in most trees.

This Squirrel Scatter feeder is a very simple solution.We have it hanging on a branch outside our second-story window.It only takes one or two experiences with the shock from this feeder and even the most determined squirrel will leave it alone.Every now and then a squirrel will stop back and very carefully attempt to eat from the feeding ports.The mild shock immediately sends him scrambling away.The construction quality also seems quite good.Highly recommended.

Product Description:
The SquirrelScatter squirrel-proof birdfeeder accommodates birds while keeping squirrels out. While birds feed undisturbed, the SquirrelScatter keeps any squirrels away with a brief electrical pulse for a safe and harmless -- yet effective -- deterrent. Ideal for gardeners and bird fanciers alike, the battery-operated SquirrelScatter provides a simple and efficient way to feed the birds without attracting wasteful and destructive pests to your garden.The SquirrelScatter squirrel-proof birdfeeder combines an efficient spill-resistant design with a harmless, yet effective electronic squirrel deterrent.Birds can stand on any of the metal feeding stations and eat undisturbed. But when a squirrel standing on the base or roof tries to eat from the SquirrelScatter feeder, it will be surprised and repelled by a brief electrical pulse. Squirrels learn to leave the feeder alone - and birds can enjoy the food you provide them.Setting up the SquirrelScatter is easy. Just install two D cell batteries, add your favourite birdseed, hang the device from a branch or pole (out of the easy reach of squirrels and other pests), and switch it on. When it's time to refill the SquirrelScatter, switch off the device, add more seed through the hatch in the top, and then switch it back on again. The SquirrelScatter will operate for up to three months on a single set of batteries.

Varicraft Avian Mixed Seed Feeder (Model AV-1MNP) Review

For years I've been trying to find a raccoon-proof high capacity bird feeder.There are many squirrel-proof ones, but this is the *only* raccoon proof one in existence as far as I can tell.Raccoons have destroyed many plastic ones that I've tried, so I learned that any feeder must be all metal.Second, no matter how big of a baffle I put on my wire a raccoon will still get past it, so the metal feeder must also have a metal cage. This feeder is indestructable and raccoons can't get into it, plus, it holds several weeks worth of seed, so it's great!

They love this thing.I recommend having it face a window where you can watch them play.They will usually hang upside down and twirl it around, while eating.

We already wore out our first one and decided to replace it.The first one lasted nearly a decade.

It's such a simple design, but they seem to really love it.The nails are nice and long, so it holds the corn cobs on really well.

Arundale 152 Mandarin Wild Bird Feeder with Seed Dividers Review

Arundale 152 Mandarin  Wild Bird Feeder with Seed Dividers
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
1) This is really squirrel-proof when properly installed from a suspended wire. One of the only feeders that truly is! (NOT when put on a post). The squirrels slide off every time.

2) The plastic is "recycled" Plexiglas. I'm all for recycling, but here this product will be exposed to years of ultraviolet light; recycled plastic will not be as degradation-resistant as virgin plastic unless they add back the UV stabilizers to the polymer mix (which I doubt). My last one, several years old, cracked spontaneously one day and shattered when it fell on the patio, apparently due to degradation of the plastic.

3) You can buy spare parts at very fair prices from the manufacturer, so consider buying just the replacement parts you need. (I forgot, and bought a whole new one).

4) The one with "dividers" is best: Arundale 152 MandarinWild Bird Feeder with Seed Dividers. The model with a tray at the bottom may be less squirrel-proof depending on your installation.

I originally had a fly-through feeder,which turned out to be a popular hangout for the local squirrel population. I didn't have very much bird action at all.
After extensive research online,I chose the Arundale Sky Cafe.Now it is all birds all the time.
About a month or so after I put the Sky Cafe into action,I mounted the fly-through feeder on a post,with a large(22 inch),baffle.The sqirrells have been unable to gain access to this feeder,Which makes very happy.
The interesting thing is that the birds prefer the Sky Cafe,about four to one.
I highly recommend this feeder,if you follow the instructions for placement,i think you will be quite satisfied as well.

Stokes Select 38079 Squirrel Lunch Box Review

Stokes Select 38079 Squirrel Lunch Box
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
I've had this feeder for two years now, and I have to say I LOVE watching the squirrels and larger birds play around it.
One of the best features, I think, it the plastic screen that keeps the food in -- and therefore dry. It raises up just enough for some to come out for the squirrels and birds to pick at is from the perch, and of course they can get some more by reaching under (the squirrels) or sticking their heads under (the birds - mostly blue jays) the screen.
I didn't have this problem last year, but this year some of the squirrels figured out that they could remove the screen by lifting the lid and pulling/pushing the screen up and out. I haven't seen them do it yet, but they did it three times before I decided to try to put an end to it. To that end, every time I fill it I now tie the lid shut by wrapping plastic string around it several times and triple knotting it underneath. So far (for that last two weeks), it's seemed to work.
I've also recently tried putting peanuts in this. The squirrels and birds seem to love this, but they don't eat the peanuts at the feeder -- they carry them off. Possibly to store them for the winter. But as a result I think I may swish back to putting regular feed - or sunflower seeds - in it.
